I confirm Karl's diagnosis; his RPM's to speed are virtually the same as mine. Your belt is the first item to check, variator next. One can watch the belt and variator operate with the bike on the center stand, cover off and engine running at different speeds. The belt should rise up to the top of the variator at higher speeds, if not that is the problem: wrong (or worn belt), or stuck variator.

I was just looking at my service manual and it says to NOT clean my air-filter with a compressor air.  I been doing this all along and I now can't help but wonder if this filter maybe not in good shape and causing some issues?  It is so hard for me to find a stock filter here in Canada.  I can't seem to get any parts here.  It is a real pain and I heard there were no more dealers in Canada.  Not sure if this is true.  I just sent of a message to the dealer I got the bike from here to see if he is still doing it.  He is far from me so I never dealt with him.

Nothing to worry about by using compressed air on your filter as long as the orange paper not blown loose.

And you blow the air in the correct direction, backwards to blow the dust off the top surface.
